Letter 4522
The rains have stopped and dawn comes brightly. My heart holds energy and my limbs are strong.
Such newness and joy! I am ready for the world.
❖
Let me sing of the joy I feel, and lift up all that undergirds it for all to see. Let me fill my day with praise and song! Gratitude! How else to mark this turning point if a morning?
Let me live and speak my joy today.
Consider:
Can I sing of my gratitude today?
